'Top Twenty Faves' countdown for 2020: Position #15, the heart attack inducing.... Miru Shiroma!

 

 Here's a new feature that popped in my mind halfway through which are the links to the other spots, of course there's only one for now:  Position number sixteen

 This is the position she should have occupied last year. Every year seems there's that one person who gets omitted, at the time the lists seem correct but often some months later I'll have some second thoughts but don't think it'll be that way this year. In 2019 had Miru pegged 21st and I'm still wondering why that happened? She really did deserve to make the list over a few others and she's always been one of my fave Idols so what was I thinking? Actually should say why wasn't I thinking?! So 2020 hasn't been as busy of a year as 2019 was for Miru so I may have played a bit of favoritism including her but then again this year has been busier than I thought so she does deserve this position though do wish she was a tad higher.

Edit: It's two day later and Miru did just reveal that she has the virus. She got it a few weeks back and seems to be almost over it but has missed some TV appearances promoting the new single.

 Was worried about whether there would be enough new pics for this post as I had used so many to make her eligible. But there certainly is as there's been some things missed from this year plus have a few older things that have never been posted before and also have a few encore steamy pics. Steamy is an appropriate word for Miru who just may be my current hottest woman and isn't too far from being my #1 in that category for all time. Her ex-NMB mate has held that spot for being my hottest woman of all time for so many years but kind of wonder if today's honoree may eventually topple her....

 No sense posting the link to her "Love Rush" photobook as it's on the right under most viewed posts of the past month. It should be for the period from March to now as that post will set a record for most views in a year and that's a record that will never be touched. We all know what holiday is approaching and hope you've been a good boy or girl! Know I haven't but still hoping my stocking will be stuffed with the only thing on my list....(please don't wake me from this fantasy....)

 (Five hours later) Okay, was woken up but least that dream went well... but why did I wake up taking a cold shower?! On to less serious things, there were some NMB cards above and here's even more.

 Here's something that was missed from earlier this year and it's a fine set of pics. We all know how scorching hot Miru is but she does look pretty darn good no matter how many layers of clothing she has on. And Miru does have many in this batch which is from the Snow Angel magazine site, she's done two previous spreads for them. This special feature came out in May but of course the trip to Fukushima prefecture happened many months before. Have a huge batch of pics from her snowboarding adventure but there's more at the site along with an interview:  Snow Angel site

 Have been posting about Miru for close to four years now. Only listed the top ten for 2018's fave's list but she would have ended up in about this spot then too do so you could say it'll be three years in a row she has or should have been fifteenth. Let's go back in time so you can see how she's grown in that stretch of time and most of the growth has been in the right places! Here's an oldie yet goldie spread from the December 2016 issue of My Girl.

 Pair of spreads from earlier this year which definitely show why Miru deserved this position but how I wish she could have been a few spots higher. Entame is a mag she appears in often, top four are from their March issue while the rest are from June.

 Miru is the co-center of NMB's new single "Koi Nanka No Thank You". it came out last week. Naturally it hit #1 on the charts but surprised the sales were only 130,000 copies sold but have noticed their singles have more staying power than most groups.

 Hmmmm, wait until she gets to the 'shower photobooks section!', gulp.....

 Have talked about having an NMB group post but unsure if that'll happen, doing these solo posts for them has been working out well and will have a pair of them coming up soon for two other members. The group has a large spread in the new issue of WPB that's dated for December 7th, guess who had the best spread(?) and the bottom pics are from the photo shoot.

 Her outtake pics are often better than the actual spread. We've hit the end and was worried a bit about these first two positions but both turned out to be a pair of terrific posts. Did mention above that Miru is the only gal I can think of who may eventually wrestle the title away from  her ex-NMB mate for  being the hottest woman in the world to me, plenty of pics here to show you why! There's many dazzling gravure videos on YT but I'm starting to like the ones at Miru's YT channel, none are subbed but they're easy enough to understand and they are quite enjoyable:  Miru's YT channel
